Musique concrete



Musique concrete is a French term for concrete music or real music. Concrete music is a type of electronic music that uses acoustic sounds. 


It all first started with Pierre Schaeffer around the late 1940s. Pierre Schaeffer was a French composer who's five works for phonograph (Cinq etudes de bruits)were the first works to showcase musique concrete. 


More music technology were being developed after the war in Europe so  there were microphones, phonographs, and magnetic tape recorders. Musique concrete was becoming more developed. 


Music was really starting to become different and well... music.
